This morning I tried several things: 1) I modified the BigCavernRanch.th file to look like this:
map MapGroup -projection plan AllieMainPlan endmap and then recompiled. No error was produced. The resulting map contains all four caves. Offsets are not offset. As far as I can tell, that entire map/endmap block is totally ignored. 2) I modified thconfig for BigCavernRanch. I added select AllieMainPlan as the fourth line in the file. Therion complained that the object AllieMainPlan could not be found. It proceeded to compile a map with all four caves. I tried the same modification except using the name of a map defined in BigCavernRanch.th. Same result - an error about a missing object and a final map that includes all four caves. 3) I modified BigCavernRanch.th with this line survey TestSurvey -title "Big Cavern Ranch" Therion compiled without error. The resulting map has all four caves and no offsets. 4) I modified BigCavernRanch.th. I moved the "map MapGroup/endmap" block so it is not within the survey/endsurvey block. Therion issues an error "Object does not exist - AllieMainPlan" and immediately quits. That seems odd to me. The AllieSpringCave.th file has a map/endmap block that is outside the survey/endsurvey block, and it does NOT complain about any of those objects missing. 5) I modified BigCavernRanch.th so that it does not contain a map/endmap block. Therion did not produce an error. The compiled map includes all four caves and no offsets. I am shooting blindly in the dark here. What is the hierarchy of namespaces? Do surveys contain maps, or do maps contain surveys? Can maps contain maps? Can surveys contain surveys? Can a map contain a survey which in turn contains a map? If surveys can contain maps, and maps can contain surveys, then how do you know what the top of the namespace is? Using Allie Spring Cave as an example, it looks to me like the top of the name space is a map called AllieMainPlan. This map contains seven subsidiary maps and is defined outside of a survey/endsurvey block. But all of those subsidiary maps are defined inside a survey/endsurvey block. So does AllieMainPlan contain the survey at the second level, and the survey contains the subsidiary maps at the third level? If true, then why does it not show up that way in xtherion? Martin - In a different email you mentioned that MainPassages is not part of AllieSpringCave. I don't understand that. AllieSpringCave is the name of a survey/endsurvey block, and inside that block are seven map/endmap blocks. One of those map blocks is MainPassages. It seems to me that the survey/endsurvey block contains the map/endmap blocks and therefore the names they define should be part of the survey namespace. -- Bill Gee On Thursday, November 14, 2019 1:45:38 AM CST Martin Sluka via Therion wrote: > > If I open the BigCavernRanch files in xtherion and then look at the boxes > > for survey structure and map structure, they are completely empty. > > You may see that structure only after successful compilation. > > > > 14. 11. 2019 v 3:46, Bill Gee <[email protected]>: > > > > I tried creating a map statement in the BigCavernRanch .th file which > > mentioned the four main maps, then doing a "select" on that map in the > > thconfig.
